Street Fighter 5 Gets New Trailer, Showing Alex Off In Action

Wail on Ken.

Street Fighter 5 received a brand new character today- Alex was added to the game’s roster as part of a free update, adding to the core game’s paltry roster. To demonstrate the addition of this new character, Capcom released a brand new character trailer today.

The trailer naturally focuses on Alex, showing off his moves and his character style. Alex seems to specifically hate Ken a fair bit, because he really wails on him a lot in the video. On the other hand, people who hate Ken are probably going to like Alex instantly just because of that.

Street Fighter 5 is available exclusively on the PlayStation 4 and PC. The game released in February, and had a troubled launch, though that mostly focused on the amount of content the game had, as well as the marketing and content distribution policies Capcom was implementing. The game has since then managed to rally, in large part because of its excellent core fighting loop.
